Precision Medicine Study

Recruiting
Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Registration Number
NCT06338150
Lead Sponsor
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Brief Summary

This will be a 2 year study to evaluate and improve cancer sequencing as applied to the characterization of tumor molecular make-up and the identification of novel therapeutics (n=100). Participants who will undergo tumor biopsy for management of multiple myeloma (MM) will self-refer to the study or be referred by their treating physician. Participants will initially meet with a clinician to review study consents and provide medical, medication, and family history information. After informed consent, biospecimen samples from peripheral blood, cheek swab, and tumor samples from bone marrow (aspirate and biopsy), peripheral blood, or any mass/fluid containing tumor cells will be obtained (from procedures indicated as part of their standard oncology care) for cancer sequencing (CS) (whole exome sequencing of germline and tumor genomes, RNA sequencing of tumor transcriptome, single cell, and CyTOF analysis). CS data will be interpreted via somatic variation identification, network modeling, and cancer transcriptome profiling to facilitate mapping activity levels of genes to networks and for identifying genes activated or dysregulated in cancer cells. Sequencing and analysis will be performed at the Genomics Core Facility at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. In instances where internal sequencing capabilities do not allow for certain types of analysis, de-identified samples or data may be sent out to third parties for additional analysis. The study will be using GenPath, a division of BioReference® Health, LLC for this project which is a CLIA certified lab. All genetic tests will be performed in a CLIA certified lab and all tests will be FDA or NYS approved. The RNA Sequencing test will receive NYS Department of Health (Wadsworth Center) approval before results are provided to physicians and patients. Samples will be de-identified and processed by the Mount Sinai Human Immune Monitoring Core (HIMC) before being sent to an external CLIA-certified lab for sequencing and analysis. Interpretation will be performed by a multidisciplinary team that includes genomicists, pathologists, and clinicians familiar with the particular cancer diagnosed in the participant. Once results are available, they will be shared with the participant and treating physician during a follow-up results session and any findings obtained explained. This study is not intended to implement findings, only to report them.
